Beverely/Holiday
Harden/ Thornton
Ariza/ McDaniels
Anderson/ DMO
Howard/Smith/Capela

 

22.3 min per game, 9.3 pts per game, 4.5 rebounds a game. he could be a useful player on a good team. if we send him to the raptors i can imagine him doing pretty well in a bench role.

 

in your dreams dude

 

Hmmm i wonder guys. Assigning yourself with the ability to tell the future and repeatedly insisting on it..is a trait of narcissism , megalomania, delusion or just plain trolling?

 

Don't leave alcoholism off the list.

 

Dwight Howard, KJ McDaniels, and 2nd round pick

for

Horford, Korver, and Splitter

We send dwight home to finish his career and get back the shooter and low post threat we need to make a deep run


Horford
Ariza
Korver
Harden
Beverely

 

Depends on if you're right or not. I'm eagerly awaiting that first rounder from Toronto, Sistah Narcy.

 

Has anyone heard about how great Rubio is playing this year?

 

He's actually been better than usual? Still can't shoot.

 

To Boston: Dwight Howard

To Sacramento: Corey Brewer, KJ McDaniels, Terrence Jones, Dallas 2016 1st round pick.

To Houston: Rudy Gay, Amir Johnson, Avery Bradley, Tyler Zeller, Minny 2016 2nd rounder, Nets 2017 1st rounder.

 

The perfect Robin for Harden's Batman. But Harden will have to accept him or it'll never happen. Rubio would ignite this team and along with Harden, Ariza, Dwight, DMo, Smoove, and whatever other quality vets we could get in trade would propel us into the playoffs and probably to a conference finals match up with either the dubs or spurs.

 

LeBatard was discussing his expectations for the Heat to make a rather large move this Deadline as Riley wants to win NOW not in the near future, likely having to part with Winslow as a result. He also mentioned that the Heat are growing tired of Whiteside, and that they need more shooting.

I don't know how to make the salaries match, but would a Winslow/Deng/Whiteside-centered deal (obviously with a few more large contracts) for Howard/Thornton/Ariza interest Houston fans? In terms of 2016 potential, the sacrifice would be minimal, and we'd create a very young team. Not a huge fan of "blowing it up", but this is one of the few returns I would take for our 2 best Vets sans Harden.

 

Hey man I like you and love what you bring but you gotta let this go haha. Rubio is awful.

 

Dear holic,

We are not gonna get a first round pick for Jones unless its the 30th pick.

Rubio doesnt score. Lawson is a better scorer. How do you expect Rubio to work nezt to Harden when Lawson isn't?

Kind regards

 

Has Rubio's name came up in any trade chatter?

 

I was thinking the same thing today. But I doubt they would take on Howard even though he is mildly less of a headache than Whiteside

 

God I hope not

 

I am not a fan of trading Dwight, but this is probably the best package I've seen as far as helping Houston. I don't know how the other teams value the trade.

I dont trust Whiteside. The only reason he's a thing is Miami media. Decent defender, good shot blocker. Complete knucklehead. Deng is decent. Probably a good player to have. Winslow is a wildcard. Good expectations, from Houston, nice size but it's going to take some time for him to develop.

We get younger, sure. I dont mind shedding Marcus Thornton because he's not very good at defense, something we really need. I think giving up Dwight and Ariza is bad. They are great defensive options. I just can't see the trade being that good for Houston. I don't know how well those players contribute to Miami, I do not have them on LP. Stats-wise Winslow looks terrible, but I understand he's a rook so ill lay off him

TLDR: No, I don't do the trade. I just dont think we're too far away from being in the mix and this takes us further away, for now. We need a legit 4.

 

This so much this.

 

Tjones and ty lawson for micheal carter williams and any one u want to give us
